The so-called engagement is just an excuse that Liu Zitong found for Ye Nianchen, which shows even more that when Liu Zitong went out the day before yesterday, he must have seen Ye Nianchen in that century-old store!

Li Zhi was angry in his heart, did everyone treat him as a fool?

"The emperor is angry, this matter is true, even if you give Weichen more courage, you don't dare to bully the king!" Liu Zitong hurriedly replied: "Two months ago, Nianchen wrote to Weichen to mention the marriage event, hoping to let me, who is my uncle, make the decision for her. Then Gu Guoshi officially sent someone to send his cronies and dowry, wanting to marry Nianchen as his wife, hoping to get my consent. ”

Without the time to peek at Li Zhi's expression, Liu Zitong knelt there and finished all the words in one breath: "Wei Chen saw that Nianchen and Gu Guoshi were not only in love with each other, but also very compatible in all aspects. ”

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, Weichen will write back to southern Xinjiang and ask him to send their marriage letter to him. I also hope that the emperor will know that what Weichen said is indeed true! ”

In fact, there is no need to look at it, Liu Zitong also knows that Li Zhi's expression must be very ugly.

For the monarch to own the whole world, how could he ever be willing to accept the fact of being rejected, in particular, he has already emphasized that it is a direct holy decree to confer a concubine, and it is not a matter of consultation or non-consultation.

Therefore, Liu Zitong's approach really hit the place where Li Zhi is most unwilling to face it in his heart.

"Really? What if you are really engaged? Isn't this not yet married? Of course ......"

After a while, Li Zhi had returned to normal. It's just that his face is gloomy: "Even if they have become relatives now?" As long as I want to, all of this is not a problem! ”

"The emperor's ......" Liu Zi was shocked in his heart, he never thought that Li Zhi, as the emperor, would say such things to him face to face, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

"Liu Zitong, I know what you are thinking in your heart, and I also understand that you originally thought that this was all for the good of Nianchen, so I don't blame you! But you have to know that what you're doing now is not helping your niece, let alone doing it for her good, you're hurting her. Helping outsiders to kill her but not knowing it! ”

Li Zhiyi waved his hand. directly reprimanded Liu Zitong, really hated his stupidity and angered him for being unwise.

The Liu family does not covet wealth and fame, and does not want to rely on their niece to become a marquis. This is good! The Liu family has the backbone and principles of the Liu family. As a king. He would have liked to see such a courtier.

However, now Liu Zitong is unknowingly helping outsiders put his niece in danger, but he is still complacent in his heart and thinks how great he has done!

was scolded by Li Zhi like this. Liu Zitong was suddenly a little confused, and he didn't know what Li Zhi meant by this.

He wants to fulfill his niece and hope that Nianchen will be happy, how can he harm her?

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?" In a hurry, Liu Zitong didn't care too much, so he stared at Li Zhi and blurted out to ask.

Seeing Liu Zitong like this, Li Zhiyuan's anger subconsciously dispersed.

He didn't reprimand Liu Zitong too much, no matter what, after all, the southern Xinjiang side still has to rely on this general to calm down, not to mention, Liu Zitong is Ye Nianchen's only relative now after all.

After a moment of silence, Li Zhi got up and walked to His Highness, and personally raised his hand to help Liu Zitong up.

The two were very close, and he patted Liu Zitong on the shoulder, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I won't hide it from you, Gu Mingyi is not as simple as you think, his purpose for coming out of the mountain was originally to come to Nianchen, because Nianchen is his life and death!" ”

"Ah...... This, this, how is this possible? Liu Zitong was really stunned this time, he really couldn't imagine whether what Li Zhi said was true or false.

After all, he had witnessed everything when Nianchen and Gu Mingyi got along, and it was impossible to pretend to reveal such true feelings. However, he is more or less clear about the emperor's temperament, and if it is not true, it is absolutely impossible to make up such a lie.

Perhaps, there is some misunderstanding in between, it must be, it must be!

"Do you think I need to lie to you?" Li Zhi didn't care about Liu Zitong's attitude at this moment, and said lightly: "I also know that you have already been in contact with them for a long time, so if it is true or not, you can ask Gu Mingyi yourself!" ”

"Your Majesty ......" Liu Zitong's face turned blue, if it weren't for this, Li Zhi would be close to him face to face, he had to subconsciously control his volume, but he was afraid that he would have shouted a long time ago.

"Okay Liu Aiqing, I don't want to hear any more arguments from you, those are meaningless."

Li Zhi knew what Liu Zitong wanted to say, at such a time, even if Liu Zitong believed his words in his heart, he would never admit anything, let alone have too much to do with Gu Mingyi.

"I have other government affairs to deal with, you can step down." With a wave of his hand, Li Zhi turned around and walked back to the dragon chair, and no longer planned to say anything else to Liu Zitong.

Some words are enough when it comes to this part, and there are others, he believes that when the time comes, it will naturally appear on its own!

Just when Liu Zitong was full of helplessness and was worried about preparing to retire first, the chamberlain suddenly received the news, and hurriedly stepped forward to Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, Gu Guoshi and Miss Ye are asking to see the emperor at the palace gate at this moment!" ”

The sudden news surprised everyone, no one expected that Miss Ye, who had been looking for so long by the emperor, would take the initiative to appear and ask to see the emperor, and what was even more surprising was that Gu Mingyi, who had served as the national teacher of Great Wei since the time of the emperor, also came.

Even Liu Zitong was stunned in place, no longer in a hurry to salute and retreat, but subconsciously looked at Li Zhi, waiting to see how Li Zhi reacted.

"It's finally here!" Li Zhi listened, but he was not too surprised, just muttered these four words, and then fell silent. Seems to be thinking about something.

The waiter waiting on the side did not dare to urge, so he could only wait cautiously.

After a while, Li Zhi instructed the chamberlain: "Since they are here, then pass them over, what are you doing here?"

"Yes, the minion obeys!" When the waiter heard this, he received the order immediately, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he personally retreated to make arrangements.

After the chamberlain retreated, Liu Zitong, who had finally come back to his senses, asked Li Zhi again: "Your Majesty." Wechen begged the emperor to allow Wechen to stay temporarily. See Nianchen together...... and Gu Guoshi. ”

"Well, since you want to stay, you can stay." Li Zhi didn't raise his head, and when he threw down this sentence, he had already picked up the recital next to him and read it.

From the palace gate to the imperial study. There's still a long way to go. Li Zhi didn't want anyone to see the ups and downs in his heart at the moment. It's better to simply find something to do and distract yourself.

Seeing this, Liu Zitong didn't dare to disturb again. Just retreated to the side and stood honestly, quietly observing Li Zhi who was handling government affairs seriously with his spare eyes from time to time, and from time to time he turned his head slightly to look in the direction of the door.

This kung fu is also difficult for Liu Zi to calm down in his heart.

Originally, when he was in the century-old store that day, Gu Mingyi only said that he would go to see Li Zhi alone, personally solve the problems between them face to face, and completely resolve the current troubles, so that Nianchen would not have to live that kind of hiding and hiding life from now on.

But at that time, Gu Mingyi didn't say that he would bring Nianchen with him at such a time!

Regardless of whether what Li Zhi said about Gu Mingyi before was true or false or there was something else hidden, this Nianchen alone was also positively involved between Li Zhi and Gu Mingyi, which made him unable not to worry a lot.

After all, this is the palace, Li Zhi is the emperor, Nian Chen has already sneaked away from the palace once, if Li Zhi is really determined to leave people behind, it is absolutely impossible to give Nian Chen a second chance like that, even if Gu Mingyi also comes.

I'm afraid, if there is an accident, or Gu Mingyi can't convince Li Zhi to let Li Zhi let go of Nianchen, then it will be difficult to protect himself, and he will also be put Nianchen in.

Thinking of this, Liu Zi was really anxious in his heart, if he had known that Gu Mingyi would bring Nianchen into the palace today, he would not agree with Gu Mingyi's decision the day before yesterday!

But now, everything is no longer in a hurry, only to take one step at a time, and talk while watching.

The atmosphere in the study room gradually became solemn, with a breathless suffocation. The palace people serving on the side didn't dare to make a sound, and they had been affected by this atmosphere intentionally or unintentionally.

Waiting is often the saddest thing.

Liu Zitong didn't know how long he had been standing there, maybe because he was nervous, and even a military general like him who was born on the battlefield felt his legs stiffen a little

Finally, when he looked out for an unknown number of times, the figures of Gu Mingyi and Ye Nianchen finally appeared outside.

"Your Majesty, Gu Guoshi and Miss Ye have arrived." The chamberlain seemed to subconsciously become more cautious at this moment, and asked softly word by word: "I wonder if the emperor will see him now?" ”

"Xuan!" Li Zhi only said one word, and at the same time put down the fold in his hand and did not continue to read.

"Xuan Gu Guoshi and Ye Nianchen are here!" Seeing this, the chamberlain hurriedly shouted loudly to the door, and then cleverly retreated to the side and waited at any time, without saying more.

Soon, Gu Mingyi and Ye Nianchen walked side by side.

The two first looked at Liu Zitong on the side, nodded slightly, and then saluted Li together.

"Are you finally willing to show up?" Li Zhi didn't care about those courtesies, and he didn't deliberately embarrass anyone here, he just looked at the two people in front of him expressionlessly, and his tone was complicated: "I thought that I would never see you again from now on." ”

After not seeing him for more than half a month, he suddenly found that Ye Nianchen had become more beautiful and moving, but his heart hurt even more involuntarily, because he could see at a glance that Ye Nianchen's beauty was blooming because of Gu Mingyi.

What a sad thing it is for a woman to be pleasing to her, but he is not a person to please her.

"The emperor ascended the throne, Gu Mou has not had time to congratulate him personally, plus there are still a few important things to discuss with the emperor, so naturally he has to enter the palace to face the saint, how can he never see each other again?"

Gu Mingyi's demeanor was calm, and he said calmly and solemnly, as if he was not in the imperial study in the palace at this moment, but stopped in his own mansion.

Ye Nianchen didn't squeak, neither refuted nor responded, but just smiled slightly at Li Zhi, and his heart might have expressed their goodwill to enter the palace this time.

Since she wants to solve the problem completely, of course she can't make things more and more stiff, she promised Mingyi to accompany her to the palace this time, and she will not interfere in solving other problems.

Originally, Mingyi didn't plan to come with her, but seeing that she was really uneasy, he finally couldn't stand her soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he agreed.

But for this reason, she must obey Mingyi's arrangement, and everything will be solved by Mingyi.

In the end, Ye Nianchen herself may not know, of course she should come down first, in short, she can't let Gu Mingyi go out of the palace alone to bear that danger.

If she can really solve the problem completely this time, then of course she is very happy, no matter how good, but if it backfires, the worst is to accompany him to Huangquan together, at least not to let him be lonely.

She had already made up her mind in her heart, but she wouldn't tell Mingyi, because she knew that he wouldn't agree.

Seeing Ye Nianchen smiling at him but no longer speaking, as if he had already centered on Gu Mingyi, Li Zhi's heart was even more depressed, which directly pressed him a little out of breath.

"Why didn't you say goodbye that day?" He looked at Ye Nianchen and asked, "Is there a word of what you said that morning?" ”

Li Zhi tried his best to restrain his emotions, and when he saw Ye Nianchen again, even if his heart hurt, it was the day that made him feel the most hopeful in the past few days.

He didn't want to lose his temper with her, and was prepared to say that he couldn't afford to lose his temper with her, but he still couldn't help but ask, even if the answer was already known, even if it was certainly not what he wanted.

Ye Nianchen couldn't help but be stunned, the smile on his face froze there, and he was obviously a little surprised when he looked at Li Zhi.

She didn't react for a while, and she didn't know what Li Zhi was referring to.

Seeing Ye Nianchen's expression that couldn't be faked at all, Li Zhi's heart hurt even more, she didn't expect that she cared so much, but she didn't remember it at all.

"That's it, you don't have to answer anymore, I understand!"

He quickly restrained his emotions and returned to his normal color, what was the difference between true and false in what Ye Nianchen said that morning was just a few vague words that made him relax his vigilance.

"Gu Mingyi, what did you do when you entered the palace to see me this time?"

Li Zhi decisively took his gaze away from Ye Nianchen and turned to Gu Mingyi, and in the blink of an eye, the king's posture could not be desecrated. (To be continued.) )
